Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without A PauseA documentary on Noam Chomsky, as he speaks to an audience in Hamilton, Ontario late last year. 75 min.
Rock star Bono of U2 has called American political activist Noam Chomsky “a rebel without a pause, the Elvis of academia.” At 74, this soft-spoken professor of linguistics remains one of the world’s leading voices of dissent. The controversial author of more than two dozen books about the use and abuse of power, including the bestseller 9-11, he draws capacity crowds to his lecturers wherever he travels. This documentary, which follows Chomsky on a recent visit to Hamilton, Ont., explores his views on such timely issues as terrorism and the war on Iraq, and offers insight into the source of his widespread appeal.
